The first catalogue of its holdings was published in 1881 and in only 29 pages.The catalogue is compiled on a geographical basis, each country being divided under definite subject headings which are subdivided wherever necessary into cognate subjects. In addition there is an author-index giving, wherever is possible, the full names of the authors, with the dates of birth and earth, and such further particulars as may illustrate the more important positions they have held or their qualifications for writing a particular book. By use of the author-index all the works of a particular writing can be traced. The entries under subjects are arranged in chronological order. Where date is enclosed within brackets and follows or precedes the date of publication, it signifies the date of the first edition.This first volume covers Africa.
